ALL I CAN DO
I can't give you solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears.
But I can listen to you, and together we can seek answers.
I can't change your past with all its heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories,
but I can be there when you need me to care.
I can't keep your feet from stumbling —
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.
Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine,
yet I can share in your laughter and joy.
Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge.
I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask.
I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you.
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself.
I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting.
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces and put them back in place.
I can't tell you who you are...
I can only love you and be your friend.
